[Insight-users] Iterative use of DeformableMeshFilter3D

[Th. Boettger]

Hallo,

I want to use the DeformableMeshFilter3D iterative, which means that I 
want to deform my input mesh a little - view it - deform it - view it 
and so on. The problem is the Filter provides a attribute for steps to 
perform, but all these steps are performed at once and one can't stop 
the filter.

So I tried to keep the resulting mesh and set it as input for the next 
run. This didn't work, because either the source of the mesh was lost 
(which was the old deformfilter newly instanciated) or the source of the 
filter was the filter itself (only one run earlier) which - of course - 
couldn't work.

Can anyone tell me what the correct way of implementing my desired 
behaviour is? I want to perform several runs with the same filter 
object. On each run I want to set the input of the filter to the filters 
output of the previous run. Why can't I keep the mesh without knowing 
it's source. The mesh - once computed - is all what I need for input.

Thanks in advance,
Thomas Boettger
